  • Edson Mitchell is usually credited with Deutsche Bank's rise up the debt-capital markets league tables over the past four years, and not without reason. He was brought in because of his earlier success in turning Merrill Lynch from an also-ran of the US bulge-bracket banks in the mid-1980s into the undisputed leader by 1994, and has turned Deutsche into a leading contender in just four years.
  • A year ago Deutsche Morgan Grenfell was set to challenge the US global investment banks. Then Frankfurt jammed on the brakes. A bank-wide restructuring has left DMG - now just the global corporate and institutions (GCI) department of Deutsche Bank - a pale shadow of its former self. Did the Deutsche Bank board lose its nerve or does it truly believe it can have an investment-banking culture without the investment bankers who inspired it?
  • The flotation of Deutsche Telekom was fenced by a thicket of regulations and employed more lawyers than syndicate staff. So how did Deutsche Morgan Grenfell get away with breaking so many of its own rules? And did the three global coordinators – DMG, Dresdner Bank and Goldman Sachs – allow themselves to be manipulated by a greedy issuer? None of this bodes well for Telekom 2. Laura Covill reports
  • Union Bank of Switzerland and Deutsche Bank are focusing on cracking the US market in their plans to become truly global investment banks. With a stable of expensive Wall Street talent on board, their willingness to commit time and money to establishing a US presence is already starting to pay off. Michelle Celarier reports
  • Edson Mitchell's bold attempt to turn Deutsche Morgan Grenfell (DMG) into a world-beating bond house has made headlines in the past year. He has employed about 500 new staff -­ including many from his old firm, Merrill Lynch -­ in little more than 12 months. But until now Mitchell has shied away from talking publicly about his plans. Here, for the first time, he reveals what his aims are -­ and how he's going about achieving them. Mitchell spoke to Garry Evans
  • It's a good time to be a Eurobond trader. European banks such as Deutsche Morgan Grenfell and SBC Warburg are beefing up their trading rooms and are prepared to double or treble the earnings of top traders to bring them on board. But just how talented are the traders jumping ship for such high sums? Ronan Lyons reports.
  • Having arrived from Merrill Lynch four years ago to join a "European bank", she was said to be upset by her feeling of déjà vu.
  • He is the man they said would always remain in the shadow of Alfred Herrhausen, but they were wrong. Hilmar Kopper, speaker of the managing board of Deutsche Bank, is on the way to becoming a giant in world banking in his own right – a name to rival Abs, Ulrich, Guth and Christians. In the first full interview he has given since becoming speaker, he speaks to Padraic Fallon.
  • It was like the meeting of two big and powerful families, the Medici and the Strozzi in Florence, or the Gambinos and the Bonannos in New York. But this was April 22, 1986.
  • When Bayer's $200 million financing hit the Eurobond market in the second week of January it met a guarded welcome. The scarcity value of German corporate paper combined with the weight of lead manager Deutsche Bank seemed to ensure a smooth path for the issue. But was this the time, given the reluctance of investors, to spring such a deal?
